Hi Eric,

On GNU/Linux, rpcgen comes from the glibc, so if cygwin is based on newlib, i 
think it should be hard to build RH's version on cygwin.

Since yesterday, i have made some investigation, and i have found that rpcgen 
comes from the same package (both on RH and cygwin), but it's a problem of version:
- RH: /* @(#)rpc.h    2.4 89/07/11 4.0 RPCSRC; from 1.9 88/02/08 SMI */
- Cygwin: /* @(#)rpc.h    2.3 88/08/10 4.0 RPCSRC; from 1.9 88/02/08 SMI */

And finaly, i will try to keep the generated code on linux and try to build/use 
it on cygwin... Don't know if it's a good or bad idea! :(

Christian
